The extent of the problem is highlighted by an interactive graphic illustrating the number of potholes fixed in each region of the UK over the last year, along with miles of local authority road by region and the number of licensed cars in that region.

For instance, did you know that the average cost across the UK of filling a pothole is £58, or that the average number of claims per authority for compensation for damage to a person or vehicle as a result of poor road conditions is 363?
